Sketches that has been approved
Here are a few sketches that has been approved by my client. These sketches needs to be worked on further. From the feedback i received, it was evident that my client wants a few dominant characteristics for the garments...
- The garments should be feminine which means more frills, pleats, gathers etc.
- Use of more than one fabric.
- Use of textures.
- Emphasis on necklines.
- Layering
The images below are just the silhouettes ..

Updates
Sketches of the silhouettes for the garments are ready. I had called Mrs.Bina Rao. I will be meeting her on Saturday to show her the sketches and collect the fabric....
For the time being, i will be looking for more inspirational images for the theme BEAUTIFUL OLD and rework on the moodboard.
While brainstorming more on the theme, I came across Fashion history in my mind map.
I revisited the notes of the course we had on Fashion History.The 1930's fashion seemed appealing to me. The Art Deco Movement during the period influenced every sphere including fashion.
Please visit the Links and Research page for more updates.
What i intend to do now is make a fresh set of silhouettes, drawing inspiration from the 1930's fashion and the Art deco Pattern.
